As police planned well this time, things have been cool today (albeit some problems & arrests last night)



Not so in Progland .. . err ... I mean Portland



Convoy drivers and counter-protesters clashed in Portland, Oregon, Saturday after individuals started throwing objects at passing vehicles.



Police reported an incident on the Northeast Glisan Street overpass on Interstate 205. According to police reports, a shot was fired between protesters and counter-protesters on the highway.

I aint heard about this one.

Apparently it got out of control last evening & police cracked down .. several arrests



Today, quite under control. While billed as partially vets for Commemorative, about 25 held a decent ceremony today so that was a small part of it and not as billed by organizer

I agree that a census is more meaningful than a survey.  But opinions based on nothing more than social media gossip are less meaningful than either.
